use an nsfw flag if you're posting porn, please

i, and probably many others as well would not like porn to randomly appear on our homepage, this is nothing personal, but forcing porn on people is not right, I understand that many are new to lemmy/kbin so they might not have seen the option to flag posts as NSFW, but please edit this post now that you know and apply it

Thank you

How do i do this?

I dunno if that's gonna scale if it requires per-instance work.

thinks

Maybe if there was a mechanism for trusting some remote feed of tags being attached to content. There are automated classification systems that can detect porn, and if you have one that presumptively flags magazines and instances that have a high ratio of flagged instances, that might be able to do most of the work. Maybe mix with graylisting, so that a receiving user chooses to defer seeing content from new magazines and instances, which would give classification systems a chance to process it before it gets seen.

Another problem is that there isn't a single global concept of what is socially-acceptable and legal, and requiring a single manually-set flag where the user at the source and the destination must have a common understanding imposes a certain inflexibility on the Fediverse as a whole, as it aspires to be a system for the world.
